Left ErIkson's Voyage.

Five hundred years before the three
little ships of Columbus were pursuing
their uncertain way across the At
lantic, more than half century before
the Normans had disturbed the Saxon
rule in England, the Norsemen had
turned their adventurous prows toward
the shores of North America. Accord
ing to the Ieelandic Sagas, a fleet filled
with these mailed and bearded sea
kings, lead by young Left Erikson, son
of the great Erik the Red, set sail
from Greenland in 1902, discovered
Newfoundland, then Nova Scotia and
afterwards eruised along the New
England coast to Vineyard Sound. The
two following years Thorwald, Left 5
brother, made voyages to New Eng
land, but in an encounter with the
aborigines, received a deadly wound,
and his disheartened followers, burying
their dead chief on shore sailed for
home. Some local traditions say that
the body of the slain Thorwald was in

Allerton, at the mouth of Boston har-
bar.-B0St0n Globe.

The Latest ldiocY.

Cats are the favorte pets at present,
and this caprice dates from Luchon,
where French women were carrying
little kittens about during the late sea-
son. They are now carried about in a
little bahut on the top of the hustle,
and will, it is prophesied, occupy the
inside of the big muffs that are about
to appear. The eccentric Princess Isa-
beau de Beauvois has much to do with
this new notion. In her pocket there
is usually tiny kitten, and in her muff
carried all through the fall, and dec
grated with artificial flowers and rib
bons-there is one. often more that one,
pug or pup of some kind, for the ac-
commodation of which animal it is
very evident that the muff is taken
lbout.-Doniestic Monthly.

THE LOvE-LETTER.
Cushing Compositions Whose Theme
Never Becomes Tiresome.

Never Becomes Ifreeomes
1t is not every body who can write
love-letter; perhaps because it is not
every one who knows how to love.
People fancy that they love when their
hearts are not touched in the least,
and their vanity is the only thing that
is kindled. When women are young.
their first lover is a revelation, and
they often marry him from sheer in
ability 20 understand their own emo
tons. The love-letters of such people
are apt to be fiavorless; they lack the
true aroma. The genuine lover loves
70 write letters to the adored one; he
does not limit himself to covering four
pages; he has so much to say that it
seems to him as if it would take life
time to say it all. He is lot obliged
to study how to turn a pretty compli-
ment or phrase; it turns of itself as if
! by inspiration; like the genuine poet,
it is merely the expression of his in
most being, the vibration of his heart
strings. He does not write simply be-
cause his sweetheart expects it of him;
he writes because he must; but if he is
only lukewarm, and not certain but
there are others equally taking" who
could fill his heart quite as satisfac-
torily, his letters will show it if her
eyes are keen enough to see, and she
is not blinded by self-conceit. There
are many who can write more gush-
ingly than they can speak; not that
they have more time to consider
their words and weigh their
| thoughts, and not that love-letter
need be gushing-gush is always more
or less questionable-but shy people
find difficulty in expressing them
selves at times, and the more in love
they are, the more likely they are ''to
write like an angel and talk like poor
Poll" The letter is like talking in the
dark; it says the eloquent things which
the lover would never dare to utter.
Spoken words one may in measure
forget, but the written letters are
always ours, precious possession so
long as shred Of the paper holds to-
| gethef, something more CanSlDle anu
real. The love-letter is no doubt COM
mon enough; every body writes it and
every body receives it, but its theme is
never tiresome; it has always peren-
NAL interest, and the same old story
reads like new one year in and year
out, generation after generation, like
an immortal idyl; but one must not
fall into the mistake of believing that
it is only youth to whom it is dear, that
youth alone inspires it, although the
first love-letter, like first love, has q
flavor more divine than any other;
what it lacks we are not quick to per-
ceive, photography is at a discount, we
are not too critical, nor are we ex-
perienced enough to detect flaws; it IS
the best literary production of the age,
in our eyes.-Harper's Bazaar.

The SULTAN'S LIFE.
Turkeys Ruler In Constant Dread OF Los
ing His Life by Violence.

Turkeys Ruler In Constant Dread OF Los
ing His Life by Violence.
For many years the Sultan has been
afraid to leave Yildis-KioSk. Not only
has he not visited single town in any
part of his empire. but he does not even
venture to go as far as Stamboul or to
take a sail on the BospOrus. He is
afraid that an attack may be made up
on his person or that mine may ex-
plode under his feet. The law of his
religion compels him to perform his
devotiOns every Friday in mosque.
and in former times the Selamlik was
always celebrated with great soiemnity
accession this ceremony has been per-
formed at the mosque nearest to the
palace, on which occasions the road is
always kept by double line of troops,
and no spectator is allowed to show
himself. either in the street or along
the houses And in order to make as
surance doubly sure new mosque is
now being built close up to the palace
to enable his Majesty to attend the re-
ligious services without setting foot out
of doors. In other respects Yildis-
Kiosk is to all intents and purposes a
fortress.
Whole brigades of spies swarm about
the CITY, entering the restaurants and
drinking saloons and even finding their
way into private dwellings. People are
conscious of being watched by tnese
minions of the palace. wherefore all
conversation in public turns upon the
most trivial and commonplace topics.
Fireworks and the use of ex-
pIosives are prohibited. The military
are only supplied with blank cartridges
and are not allowed to practice target
shooting. Some time ago
couple of practical jokers found moth
ing better to do than to write insulting
letters to the Sultan and the Grand
Vizier. and from that day to this there
has been no local post delivery in Con-
stantinople. ANY one having private
or business message to send must either
intrust it to aservant, or, if he happens
to be without one, must hire a horse
and spend half a day over a trifling
matter that could have been settled in
two minutes. How encouraging to
trade and commerce! No people in the
world are so devoted. so patient and so
respectful as the Turks. At the beck
of the Sultan millions would rise up to
defend him. And yet these are the peo-
pie whom he distrusts, while seeking
shelter and protection in the midst of
his most generous foes. He lives in
constant apprehension of being pois-
oned; his food is regularly subjected to
a chemical analysis, and in order to Sc
cure the fidelity of his guardians he
dare not refuse one of their wishes. In
short. he overwhelms them with pres
ents and fayors in order TO earn their
gratitude.-M 2. telegram

scientists that they are but little further ad-
yanced in their studies than they were years
ago, while a wonderful advancement of
benefit to suffering humanity, has been
made by scientists outside the profession.
A few days ago, the medical profession
proclaimed to the world that bright's dis

explain in the slightest degree its causes.

has become known that such a disease is

that if these organs are in healthy condi-

corrected, the disease ceases.

the great remedy known as W-Tner's safe

to increase, regardless of its place of birth.
The liberal branches of the medical profess

expect they will ere long be proclaimed in

proprietors and perfector may never see it,
but the time will surely come, as it has come
with other valuable discoveries. Perhaps a
hundred years from now, the discoverer OF
this valuable remedy may receive some
honorable title for the benefit he has con-
ferred upon mankind.
